[History:  Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Lansing 2-7-2000 as

L.L. No. 3-2000.]

 

ARTICLE I

 

§ 123.1.  Purpose and Intent.

 

  The purpose of this Local Law is to create a specific list of actions that may be taken by the Village, through its Board of Trustees, Planning Board or Board of Zoning Appeals, which actions the Village deems not to require review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA).  It is the intent of this Local Law that a list of Type II actions be established to supplement the list of Type II actions currently provided in Section 617.5 of the Regulations promulgated under New York State Environmental Conservation Law Article VIII.  This Local Law is being enacted in accordance with the provisions of said Section 617.5 at subsection (b), and the list set forth herein is intended to supplement the list of Type II Actions set forth at subsection (c) thereof in such cases as the Village of Lansing acts as an agency for SEQRA review.  The Village acknowledges that no other agency is bound by the list of supplemental Type II Actions set forth in this Local Law.  The Village has determined that each action set forth in the list in this Local law in no case would have a significant adverse impact on the environment based on the criteria contained in Section 617.7(c) of the SEQRA Regulations, and each action listed in this Local Law is not a Type I Action as defined in Section 617.4 of the SEQRA Regulations.
